Wow Antonia. I think you hit what I've been feeling.

I think there will always be just a pinch of sorrow there. Sometimes it will pop it's head out and other times it lays silent but....it is always there.

And you're right. Only people that have been through this would understand.

Our story is not one many people relate to...the loss of someone who not only leaves your life but does a 180 on you in terms of the way he/she treats you.


Yep. There's a big difference between being one of "us" and being someone who ammicably (sp?) divorced or someone that left a marriage because the spouse was always abusive. I think the 180 that the MLCer does is the kicker. You not only have to deal with the end of your marriage but also the lies, name calling, accussations, the affair, rewriting of history, the hateful spew...

We are in a club that nobody else can truly understand.
